After spending about Rs.3.5 lakh crore ($51 billion) - almost equal to India's subsidy and pensions budget for 2015-16 - over 10 years on the world's largest rural jobs programme, it has provided less than half the guaranteed 100 days of employment to 50 million poor households.

The four-day conference of a host of anti-Beijing international Chinese action groups in Dharamsala from April 28 is bound to mark a watershed in the history of India-China relations.
